I don’t know about that Laker. Stevens got them playing that lockdown D again.

Wouldn't you think the series line is saying Philly won't lose any home games and that they're essentially a coin flip to win either game 5 or 7?

0-3 in the playoffs. 1-8 last 9 playoffs. Bg why is line only +105?

I just think maybe they can’t make it high in that Philly “ can” win next two home games. They are a 525 ml fav in game 3 as is.

I kind of agree with LB. Down 2, and only +105 ?
9.5 faves is screaming blowout. -7 1H as well.
If the Celts somehow win this series, it would in no way make up for the SB loss, but it would put a smile on my face.
Celts in 7.

Laker - you just fukked all Philly backers. Haha. C's might sweep now.
I mentioned before that Boston is tougher than Philly. Too many Euro/Aussies on Philly. I can't even spell Scaric, Bellinni, Reddit. Then you have their top Aussie star can't shoot the rock, they are fukked. Boston sagged in the paint whenever Simmons had the ball. They laughed every time he took a 5 foot jumper. Unless he finds a jumper in the next few days, this series is a wrap. Hell Boston hasn't even tried the Hack a Ben strategy yet. Do you really think he's going to carry this team with Stevens on the other side? Hell no. Stevens is going to cut his nuts in this series. Watch. 1 point. LoL

didnt they open at -400 so whats wrong with the odds? they cut it almost half after game 1 and about half now. whats the point of being a bookmaker if youre going to gamble.

lakerboy about to lose money again lol. The Celtics are winning this series, GUARANTEED. It might go seven, but Boston is not losing at home.
Here's a fun stat for you - in their entire long history, the Boston Celtics have NEVER lost a series when up 2-0. That is a cool 36-0. The Philadelphia 76ers have NEVER won a series when down 2-0.
Enjoy flushing your money down the drain!

Let me ask you 2 questions.
Do you think the sixers will win 4/5?
Is the payout of +105 good for that?
It amazes me that folks think a series is over after two games. How long you guys been watching sports?

Philly can't close out games as there was evidence of that last night, they get rattled down the stretch in games and don't have a true closer.. Celtics are probably gonna win this series.. Philly to young and inexperienced...

It's almost impossible to beat Boston at home. Can Philly eventually win won on the road? I doubt it. Can Boston steal 1 in Philly? The way Simmons is shooting? Very possible.

Why the hell would you bet +105 for the 6ers to win the next 4 out of 5? You might as well open parlay them ML.

This Sixers team right now as is will not beat the Celtics four times.
Which means they won't win this series.
Embiid can't see. He's not a factor. If you buy Sixers series line
plan to sell it if they win 1 or 2 home games. Not one for historical stats
much, but it's relevant on Boston's home court. 36-0 when up 2-0.
Sixers 0-11 when down 2-0. But the real reason is Emiid is not Embiid,
and the Sixers are not rock solid in their game plan. They need another year.

didnt say it was over but I dont see anything wrong with the odds. Sixers were heavy favs to start, odds look about right to me. I remember this situation happening a few times over the last few years where a team around that price range and lose first two on the road and odds were about the same before the 3rd game. Id like to think they already pretty much know about what the odds might be around from experience if Boston happened to win both at home. I just dont understand when people imply the books know are leaning a certain outcome, Id like to see the justification for it. Boston's still a team without a top 10 mvp candidate and two 1st year and 2nd year players in the starting lineup and Rozier who hadnt started a game until Kyrie went down. Perception says they should be much weaker than Philly. They had to make philly big odds to start or people would have pounded them.
I liked them in this series but from what I've seen so far, I can't back them any longer.

LB has a valid point this is just one time myself the conspiracy theorist doesnt want to think that there is any insight from the books lol. my money is on the line so you know. There was a series last year Ill look for others where boston played chicago and boston opened at -900 before series but was bet down to -470 before game 1. chicago had homecourt and won the first 2. before game 3 chicago odds were -180. Celts would go on to win the next 4. That might not be the best example since after winning both at home they made bulls -180 perhaps because it was already bet down from +500 to +375 before Game 1 so there's an excess of money on that side perhaps I really dont know exactly how they operate for series so just a guess, also have to couple in Thomas sister's death before game 1, perhaps that led to even more money on bulls. Erm, me dont know. I see your point though Laker, with home court and winning first 2 it does seem like Boston should be bigger favs.

This is all math-based.
Books aren't willing to move off their position.
Sometimes books make mistakes.
Saying the Celtics have "zero chance" is really dumb.

So they don't take positions but they had to make Philly huge odds because people would pound them?
You just proved my point. The books are on Philly
